Such a frustrating disappointment
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
When I started to watch this I wondered if it was a made for TV film its so bad, its like a real crappy episode of Holby Coty or The Bill but it would be unfair to compare this film to those other shows as they have good actor's and normally good stry liines. The acting in this is just terrible, I'm still asking myself why i sat and watched it all. It has no relevance to the triple Range Rover murders at all, I presume that the avatar for this is the DVD cover or cinema poster and that also is so misleading.
I have to confess I approached this film with very low expectations having read the one star reviews here on IMBb. I had a mixture of confirmation and surprise. Sure it doesn't have the production values of the Sean Bean film with a similar title but one star is a bit harsh. Sure it was filmed on camcorders with a very small budget but if you have Sean Bean I'm sure you can command a bigger one. Having said that I've always thought SB was a wooden, one dimension actor who adds very little to anything he's in.There are a couple of faces in Jesse Birdsall, who gives the best performance, and Ross Boatman from 'London's Burning' but special mention should go to Canadian actor Megan Lockhurst who also turned in a good believable performance.So if you are expecting something similar to the SB film then of course you will be disappointed but if want a slice of Essex, this is maybe not the only way.
I like a terrible gangster film, this has to be the the worst one I've ever seen. Awful acting, too much swearing, pathetic acting, oh did I mention too much swearing. Actual Script"Fu** off mate, fu**off you cun**, oh fu** no, oh fu** off son. Oh who's that bird your seeing, who shes nice, oi oi, don't you worry son." See you tough guy. Tries to be Football Factory at the start, then someone dies who you give no shits about, then some fu**king copper turns up, but then hes reassigned, who you give no fu*ks about. If you fancy a laugh then watch this. 1/10
I cannot remember watching a movie with such bad acting. With an idiotic plot, this film is a complete embarrassment to the British film industry. Believe me when I say that it is probably the worst I have ever seen. I saw that it had a 7.1 IMDb rating, and thought it might be good. How wrong I was. Hard men who are not hard. Fights that look like they are taking place in a school playground. Blood as thick as ketchup. To sum it up. This is NOT how to make a movie. I find it difficult to believe that a review on this film has to be 10 lines long. There are not enough words to describe how bad it really is. One actor whom I remember from Londons Burning, had the lead bad guy role. He won't get employment in films again. There was also a bloke with a flat cap who was supposed to be hard. He looked totally out of place with his not hard posing. Then there was the bad dying. I thought actors learned how to die on screen. These guys must have been in the pub on the day that acting school was teaching the pupils how to die. Watching this film will make you despair at the waste of money and time used in churning out this complete drivel .
